Recumbent bicycles are all designed to reduce stress on the rider, particularly in the knees, hips, and back, but the Life Cycle 9500 RHR climbs to a new level of smooth cycling. From its comfortable seat with built-in grooves for coolness and back-support, to the natural placement of the hand sensors, few elements of ergonomics are overlooked on this cycle. The belt-drive system is reliable and quiet and the pedals can be adjusted to accommodate your foot size. Life Fitness, a Fortune 500 company and parent to other brands such as Hammer Strength and LeMond Fitness, introduced the first-ever piece of electronic fitness equipment. That innovative philosophy continues with the 9500 RHR, which, in addition to its ergonomics, offers 9 separate programs including a fit test. The 9500 RHR features an LED alpha-numeric message center and is CSAFE ready.
